Mopar Performance Boxes Nearly 3,800 Horsepower
Chrysler Corporation’s Mopar Performance Parts has taken the sentiment “There’s no replacement for displacement” to heart, with plans to expand its current lineup of large-displacement crate motors for 1999.
With these eight engines, Mopar Performance will offer a variety of V-8 and V-10 engines with sizes ranging from 360 to 528 cubic inches -- engines powerful enough to satisfy the most ardent fans of that big-motor rumble.
Mopar Performance has four new crate motors joining the lineup, making for a total of three Hemi® crate motors, two 440 Wedge engines, two Magnum small-blocks and the much-anticipated, all-aluminum Viper V-10.
Together these eight engines produce a total of 3,790 horsepower and 3,991 lbs-ft of torque.
Mopar Performance continues to set new standards, offering an ever-expanding lineup of performance-enhancing parts for everyone from the enthusiast to the professional racer. The current crop of crate motors are designed and built with leading-edge technology, ensuring a level of quality and durability no “original” engine can match. By combining today’s technology with an illustrious past, Mopar Performance truly has the Power To Win.
A ‘crate motor’ is the name commonly given to fully assembled engine packages that are literally shipped to the customer in a crate, ready to install. Applications include professional race cars, street rods, restoration projects and power boats. All Mopar Performance Parts crate engines include the complete engine except for a carburetor, exhaust system and accessory drives.
Mopar Parts, a division of Chrysler, partners with independent repair technicians and distributors worldwide to offer more than 250,000 original equipment parts to enhance Chrysler production vehicles. In addition, Mopar offers high-performance enthusiasts and racers with factory-engineered and factory-developed performance parts to provide them with a competitive edge.
